Police at scene of suspected burglary in Trumpington

Two officers were injured as police apprehended a suspected burglar tonight (February 9)

Police vans and cars massed on Hauxton road, Trumpington shortly after 7.30pm, following reports of a house break-in.

Members of the public reported seeing lots of police on the street, as a cordon was set up outside.

Speaking to the News a force spokesman confirmed two officers had been "slightly injured" at the house, and had been taken to Addenbrooke's as a precaution.

They also confirmed one man was arrested at the scene, but at least two other suspects were still at large.

Reporter Rachael McMenemy was at the scene tonight, where residents told of their shock at the sudden disturbance.

No one from Cambridgeshire police has been available to speak to the News for the last few hours, so we currently don't know if any further arrests have been made, or how long officers will remain at the scene.

We're going to be ending our live coverage of this breaking incident now, but we will have all the news and updates on what has happened from tomorrow morning, right here.

End of our live coverage

Thanks for bearing with us this eveing- no one from Cambridgeshire police has been available to speak to us tonight (understandable perhaps, given how busy they’ve been), so we don’t know the current situation on Hauxton Street.

However as it seems to be dying down, we’re ending our live coverage of the incident here.

Thanks for being with us, and make sure to check back tomorrow morning, when we’ll have more updates and reaction to the events of this evening.
